Triple-A - Las Vegas 51's (32-29)_______________________________________

LAS VEGAS 11, RENO 6 (Box)

Steven Matz only made it through four innings of work, partially due to his stringent pitch count, and partially due to his performance, but the Vegas bats more than picked up the slack, posting a .500 OBP for the game. That’ll play.

• 2B Wilfredo Tovar: 2-3, 2 R, 3 BB, 2 SB
• SS Matt Reynolds: 2-6, 2 R, K; Even if you don’t think he is a shortstop upgrade, have to imagine he is a bench upgrade.
• LFJayce Boyd: 1-4, R, RBI, BB, K
• LHP Steven Matz: 4 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 1 HR; Steven Matz’s timetable up to Jon Niese. (and whatever Super 2 cutoff date the FO has in their head)

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (29-30)_____________________________________

BINGHAMTON 6, BOWIE 0 (Box)

Luis Cessa, Beck Wheeler, and Paul Sewald combined for a five-hit shutout, and both Rodriguezes homered as the B-Mets beat up former top prospect Kevin Gausman en route to an easy get-away day win in Bowie.

• 3B Dustin Lawley: 1-4, K
• 1B Aderlin Rodriguez: 1-4, HR (7), R, RBI
• RF Jared King: 1-5
• LF Michael Conforto : 1-3, 2 R, BB
• SS Gavin Cecchini: DNP; Reportedly "felt something" in batting practice.
• RHP Luis Cessa: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (30-30)_____________________________________

DAYTONA 6, ST. LUICE 5 (8) (Box)

DAYTONA 3, ST. LUICE 2 (Box)

St. Lucie got swept by the Tortugas despite a pair of pretty good outings from John Gant and Miller Diaz. Gant K’d 11 in Game 1, though he had some longball issues, and a seventh-inning comeback but the Mets in the driver’s seat. Akeel Morris couldn’t finish the game off though, and Daytona walked off in the eighth. In Game 2, the sum total of the Mets offense was Yeixon Ruiz, and the Tortugas came from behind again to knock St. Lucie back to .500.

• PR/CF Champ Stuart: Pinch-ran and scored in the seventh // 0-2, BB
• 1B Dominic Smith: 2-4, 2 RBI // 0-3
• 3B Jeff McNeil : HBP; left game in the first inning of Game 1 after getting hit on the hand.
• SS Amed Rosario: 0-4, K // 0-1, BB
• 2B-3B Philip Evans: 0-4, 2 K // 0-2, BB
• RHP John M. Gant: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 11 K, 2 HR
• RHP Akeel Morris: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (33-27)__________________________________

SAVANNAH 4, WEST VIRGINIA 3 (Box)

The Gnats winning ways continued as a ninth-inning comeback ran their winning streak to nine as they kept pace with the Drive atop the Southern Division of the Sally League. Jon Leroux struck the big blast with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth to tie things up, and Savannah manufactured the go-ahead run shortly after.

• CF John Mora: 2-3, 3B, R, RBI, BB
• LF Vicente Lupo: 2-3, RBI, K
• SS Luis Guillorme: 1-4, R, CS, E (10)
• RHP Matires Arias: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
